Approve not of him who commends all you say.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Display is as false as it is costly.
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
To the haranguers of the populace among the ancients, succeed among the moderns your writers of political pamphlets and news-papers, and your coffee-house talkers.
Benjamin Franklin
In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye/ Each little speck and blemish find/ To our own stronger errors blind.
Benjamin Franklin
Nothing's so apt to undermine your confidence in a product as knowing that the commercial selling it has been approved by the company that makes it.
Benjamin Franklin
Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist.
Benjamin Franklin
